GLSA-201203-12 : OpenSSL: Multiple vulnerabilities

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related
patches.

Description :

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-12
(OpenSSL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL:
Timing differences for decryption are exposed by CBC mode encryption
in OpenSSL&rsquo
s implementation of DTLS (CVE-2011-4108).
A policy check failure can result in a double-free error when
X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK is set (CVE-2011-4109).
Clients and servers using SSL 3.0 handshakes do not clear the block
cipher padding, allowing a record to contain up to 15 bytes of
uninitialized memory, which could include sensitive information
(CVE-2011-4576).
Assertion errors can occur during the handling of malformed X.509
certificates when OpenSSL is built with RFC 3779 support
(CVE-2011-4577).
A resource management error can occur when OpenSSL&rsquo
s server gated
cryptography (SGC) does not properly handle handshake restarts
(CVE-2011-4619).
Invalid parameters in the GOST block cipher are not properly handled
by the GOST ENGINE(CVE-2012-0027).
An incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4108 creates an unspecified
vulnerability for DTLS applications using OpenSSL (CVE-2012-0050).

Impact :

A remote attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service or obtain
sensitive information, including plaintext passwords.
